tic doloreux, that terrible pain of the face and head that mstimes cannot be relieved by the most powerful sedativm. even morphine. For many yea.rs an extensive oper- ation was necessary to give the patient relief.
A few weeks ago I wrote about the medical treatment of trigemi- rial neuralgia and alcohol injec- tions which gave relief in many cases. making surgical operations sometimes unnecessary. The in- formation regarding treatment of this unbearable pain should be known to sufferers and their fam- ilies. . in the Journal of Neurosurgery. Springfield. Illinois. Drs. M. M. Peel. and R. C. Schneider present information on 689 cases of trigem- inal neuralgia that during the ten-year period from 1938 to 1949 inclusive. Of this num- ber. 553 had been treated by rhizo- tomy tsurgical division of nerve roots coming from spinal: 49 had

the remaining 87 received no treat- merit.
A follow-up of the cases was ac- complished by questionnaire with 69 per cent response from the pat- ients who liad trigeminal rhizo- tomy, a 55 per cent response from those who had alcohol injections only. and 41 per cent response from the patients who had received no treatment.
Of the 36 who replied who had received no treatment: 4 had com- plete disappearance of their pain. 20 had return of severe pain, 3 were operated on elsewhere with re- lief of discomfort, and 9 had re- ceivcd alcohol injections elsewhere with complete relief of discomfort in five.
From the above, Drs. Feet and Schneider gained the impression that trigeminal rhizolomy is a much more satisfactory method of treatment than alcohol injection in the average case of trigeminal neuralgia for there had been com- plete relief oi pain in all but 5.4 per cent of the patients under- going this operation.
Alcohol injection. on the other hand, relieved the pain of only 15.2 per cent of the patients for longer than one year. However, the various complaints of crawling sensation, 5.6 per cent of burning sensation and numbness (4 per cent) among the patients who had undergone operation is much higher than is usually stated and occurs as often as those after alcohol injections. "Most of the patients. however. are so pleased to have relief of their severe pain that they do not talk or tell about symptoms that mean only discomfort."
The death rate was only 1.6 per cent which is reasonable group in which more than a third were over 65 years of age.
Although operation gives the most lasting relief from severe pain,the fact that alcohol injections give relief for periods of weeks and months is worth knowing. Oper- ation can always be performed if necessary.
